[Verse-dev] Verse Security

Hi,
It is true, that there is only binary Verse Python module that could be 
compiled from source code of Verse:

https://github.com/verse/verse

Of course it would be better to have pure Verse Python module due to 
portability, but I don't have time for implementing such module now. On 
the other side, anybody can implement Verse Python module in pure 
Python, because specification of protocol is described here:

https://github.com/verse/verse/wiki/Specification

IMHO, I don't see any security concern in module written in C using 
Python C-API. Fore example installation of Python includes dozens of 
such modules.

I'm sorry, but I will not react on the rest of your e-mail, because it 
is really hard to understand you.

BTW: I missed your name.

Best regards,

Jiri
